LiontipsSouthampton vs Tottenham. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022/23 English Premier League (March 18, 2023).
Command Analysis
Southampton have earned seven points in five Premier League matches under manager Ruben Selles, despite only scoring two goals. Their increasingly desperate attempt to climb out of the relegation zone will face serious tests next month as they take on four of the top clubs, including today's opponent.
Selles has been in almost every football situation as an assistant coach and currently boasts a better average points per game in the EPL than the last five managers of the Saints, even after a home defeat to Brentford (0-2) in the last round.
Maitland-Niles, Livramento, and Larios will be unable to play.
Manager Antonio Conte must continue to motivate his team. Conte has said that the Spurs' 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend will be just the beginning of a successful end to the season, after calling for psychological resilience in the wake of their recent elimination from the Champions League.
Tottenham have recorded 15 victories and three draws to date, which correspond to 48 points and fourth place in the Premier League table.
Emerson Royal, Lloris, Bissouma, Sessegnon, and Bentancur have been ruled out of this match.

Tip and bets
We are not convinced by Tottenham - the Londoners have done poorly in their recent matches. The Saints, on the other hand, are fully focused on avoiding relegation, and will put their best effort into this match - a loss might just end all their hopes for survival. We will back the home team and hedge the bet with a zero handicap.
Our prediction — Asian handicap (0) to Southampton
We do not expect many exciting attacks and scoring chances here. The home team will probably play a very defensive game, so we recommend taking the under.
Second bet — total under 2.5 goals
